I’m wondering how this actually works. I don’t think our IT team would ever allow it, but even if they did, you’d have to be able to run everything M$ (Teams, excel, etc), onedrive/sharepoint, windows specific software like CAD, Bluebeam, use Chrome-only software like Autodesk stuff -

It seems kind of dumb to even do that, since you’d be locked into that M$ ecosystem anyway. But I’m curious if anyones done it.

    I run Linux at a workplace that is mostly Windows and some Mac.

    Nobody notices or cares.

    Everything I need runs in a browser now.

    But why does everyone bring up AutoCAD? Lemmy seems to be full of AutoCAD professionals.

    I sling code and documents. Linux is better for code and uses Office 365 as well as any other OS.

      That would work fine. A lot of software is still windows only though especially in my line of work (not code, very outdated work), a lot of excel sheets with millions of macros etc . can’t use web based stuff for that
